What reading level is India the Real India volume 19 book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The subject of social reform is necessarily vague, comprehensive, and ill defined. The Indian masses, it has never been denied, are fulfilled with the con- viction that the social customs and institutions which have so long stood the test of time possess peculiar merit, and are superlatively well adapted to their 241 INDIA own requirements. The masses in this behalf include all Hindoos who are not, and, off the platform, a great many of those who are, English-educated. The people are passionate...ly attached to the simple faith and primitive ways of their forefathers; they are prepared to take what a Brahmin says as gospel, and the women, who are the most conservative half of the population, exercise the strongest possible influence over the men, though the true position in this respect has been obscured and, unintentionally of course, misrepresented, by interested observers, whose field has necessarily been limited to the lowest and most degraded classes.
If any proofs were wanted that the desire for social reform had only touched the merest super- ficial fringe of the Indian peoples, it would be found in the double life led by most of the reformers them- selves.
